WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER Ilth. 


Grand Parade, 10 a. m. The start will be announced 
by three guns from a battery near the head of the column, 
and the latter will be kept in constant motion when once 
started. The line of march, just two miles long, is the 
following : Beginning on Euclid avenue at the intersec¬ 
tion of Case avenue, proceeding thence westerly on Euclid 
(right) to Bond street, northerly on Bond to (left) Sum¬ 
mit street, and westerly on Summit into Lake View Park 
and adjacent streets (Wood, Ontario and Seneca) for dis¬ 
bandment. Bond street, from Superior to Summit, is the 
Court of Honor, marked at Superior by four columns, and 
the street is lined with the grand stands, that on the left 
at the end of the line (west side of Bond, opposite Central 
\: Armory) occupied by President McKinley and reviewing 

officers. School children, forming an American flag in 
colors, and singing patriotic songs, will occupy a grand 
stand on Summit street, facing the advancing column. 

In this parade only Grand Army Posts as such will 
participate. Departments will march in the order of 
seniority, with Illinois in the lead, except that Ohio, by 
courtesy, will talce the left of the line. The marching 
order will be as follows :

necticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Maine, California 
and Nevada, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont,

Louisiana and Mississippi, Florida, Montana, Texas, 
Idaho, Arizona, Georgia, Alabama, North Dakota, Okla¬ 
homa, Indian Territory, Ohio. 


As the whole body of troops will not have completed 
its march until about 3 o’clock, there will be ample time 
for those in the first part of the procession to return to 
whatever point they may desire for a review of the re¬ 
mainder of the column. Further, the visiting depart¬ 
ments, excepting the two taking leading positions, while 
waiting for their turn to enter the march will have the 
opportunity of reviewing their comrades who precede. 

Every precaution to make the march easy is being 
taken. Those in local authority are directed to permit 
only comrades fully in condition for the parade to enter 
it, and all are admonished to ride in the street cars, which 
will be in operation all day, to their respective points of 
formation. The march will commence promptly at 10.

CLEVELAND. 


WHAT TO SEE—HOW TO SEE IT. 

A GENERAL VIEW. 

A comprehensive impression of Cleveland may best 
be gained by a survey from some great elevation, a lake 
view and a few rapid street car trips. 

The tall Williamson and New England buildings, 
the two highest buildings in Ohio, respectively, on and 
near the Public Square, furnish heights from which the 
great city and the peculiarities of its different sections may 
be observed. These buildings afford superb views of Lake 
Erie, as the Public Square is only three streets away from 
the lake. A look at the harbor and the lake may also be 
had by a short walk from the Public Square north to 
Lake View park, and thence west past the Union depot 
to the Cuyahoga river and its piers. 

DOWN TOWN SIGHTS. 

Cleveland’s office business is centered around the 
Public Square. The Federal building is a now old 
fashioned stone structure at the northeast corner of the 
Square and Superior street, within a few years to be re¬ 
placed by an adequate and fine postoffice building, to be 
begun this winter. Near it is the Chamber of Commerce 
building, and the Society for Savings building, and across 
Ontario street from the last named the Old Stone, or First 
Presbyterian, church, and the American Trust building. 


— 16 — 


The Soldiers and Sailors’ monument contains as a 
mural decoration within it a list of Cuyahoga county’s 
10,000 participants in the civil war. The group statuary 
has been widely admired. The modern naval piece just 
north of the monument was captured in “the battle of 
July 3, 1898/’ off Santiago de Cuba from the Spanish 
cruiser Viscaya. The field piece of older pattern in the 
center of the Square was captured by union forces under 
General James Barnett in West Virginia in 1861. The 
still more antique piece of ship artillery on the corner was 
one that Perry took from the British on Lake Erie in 
1814. The monument in the southwest section represents 
Moses Cleveland, the city’s founder. 

Much of the work of directing the Republican na¬ 
tional campaigns, which twice made William McKinley 
president, was done in the big Perry-Payne building, 
three streets west of the Public Square on Superior street, 
where are located the offices of Senator Hanna’s iron, ore, 
coal and shipping interests. 

A little beyond the southwest corner of the Public 
Square may be seen the round tower of the Cleveland 
Telephone building. The Cuyahoga telephone offices, 
with the headquarters of the United States Telephone 
Company, the Big Consolidated and other Henry A. 
Everett interests, are in the Electric building, a few streets 
southeast of the Public Square, on Prospect street. The 
two principal Cleveland libraries, the Public and the 
Case, are now on opposite sides of Wood street, at the 
intersection of Rockwell, only a step from the northeast 
corner of the Square. Both places are only temporarily 
occupied, as the government takes the Case building for 
the new government building, and the public library trus¬ 
tees will build a handsome new structure. The City Hall 
is a large, one-time imposing structure, across Wood 
street from the Case building, on Superior street. 
The visitor may pass from Superior street to 


— 17 — 


Euclid avenue through the Arcade, the largest 
building of its kind in the world, one of the archi¬ 
tectural sights of the city, and then, by going east on 
the avenue a few steps, may pass through to Prospect 
street by the Colonial, a smaller but more modern arcade. 
Near the Colonial Arcade, on Euclid avenue, are the 
Garfield and New England buildings, large modern struc¬ 
tures, and east farther, at the corner of Erie street, the 
visitor may see the steel framework of two great sky 
scrapers in course of erection, one for the Prudential 
Trust Co., and one for the Citizens’ Savings & Loan As¬ 
sociation. A square up Erie street, the massive new Rose 
building, the largest building in Ohio, and the handsome 
Y. M. C. A. building, with the Caxton building to the 
right and the Pythian Temple, Osborne and Bangor 
buildings and several new hotels to the left, constitute the 
conspicuous architectural features of Prospect Place, 
“the new center.’’ In several important respects the 
Cleveland Y. M. C. A. is the foremost in the world, and 
in membership is one of a group which may be counted 
on the fingers of a hand. 

A modern “social settlement” may be studied in the 
case of “Goodrich House,” a fine specimen of architecture 
at Bond and St. Clair streets. Five pioneer churches may 
be seen down town. These are the Old Stone church on 
the Square (1858), Trinity Cathedral (Protestant Episco¬ 
pal) on Superior street, between the Arcade and the Hol- 
lenden, (1853), St. John’s Cathedral (Catholic), at the 
corner of Superior and Erie streets, (1848), the First 
Methodist Episcopal, corner Erie and Euclid, (1872), and 
Grace Protestant Episcopal church, corner Erie and 
Prospect, which latter is the oldest church edifice on the 
East Side, having been erected in 1845. 

SECTIONS AND SUBURBS* 

The largest fine residence part of the city is that made 
up of the streets and avenues parallel with and intersect- 


— 18 — 


ing Euclid avenue, and extending eastward from the 
central business section a distance of nearly eight miles. 
The old time magnificent part of the avenue, which caused 
Bayard Taylor in his life time to pronounce it the finest 
thoroughfare in the world, is still avoided by the street 
cars, from Perry street to Case avenue, and is not too 
long to be inspected on a leisurely stroll. Some of Cleve¬ 
land’s largest palaces are of course to be noted among 
the array of millionaires’ homes set in this stretch of mag¬ 
nificent lawns, which present one of the most impressive 
effects in Cleveland. Two of the largest of these man¬ 
sions are those of Samuel Andrews, at the corner of 
Sterling avenue, and of Charles F. Brush, the inventor of 
the arc electric light, near Case avenue. A cluster of 
more recent palatial residences have sprung up on Euclid 
Heights, a beautiful bluff overlooking the East End and 
the lake, and reached by Euclid avenue cars labeled 
“Heights.” Along this ridge, are the homes of many 
very wealthy men. The summer home of John D. Rocke¬ 
feller, Forest Hill, is situated in a beautiful park abutting 
on Euclid avenue, a little distance east of Lake View 
Cemetery, in East Cleveland. The house is on a high 
point of land some distance south from the avenue, but 
may be seen here and there among the trees from the 
street cars as they pass. Lake avenue, in the extreme 
western part of the city, has a strip of beautiful lake bluff 
lawns. Among these are the palaces of Senator M. A. 
Hanna and ex-Congressman W. J. White. 

Jennings avenue, traversed by cars bearing its name, 
is the fine South Side thoroughfare, among whose speci¬ 
mens of residence architecture may be noted the Olney 
Art Gallery. Detroit street, some miles west of the center 
of the city, is the backbone of another handsome resi¬ 
dence and lawn region. v 

There are three particularly solid manufacturing 
sections. One is “The Flats,” as Clevelanders term the 
broad, deep valley cut by the Cuyahoga river. It is given 


— 19 — 


over to shipping, ore docks, coal handling, the fishing in¬ 
dustry, great lumber yards, blast furnaces and other iron 
and wood works. It is to be seen well from the Superior 
and the Central viaducts. Another great iron works sec¬ 
tion is that along the lake front, from one to three miles 
distant from the Public Square, and reached by the St. 
Clair street car line. The third is “Newburg,” the ex¬ 
treme southern part of the city, where one of the large 
mills of the American Steel & Wire Co. is located. 

Cleveland has a number of important suburban vil¬ 
lages, whose proximity makes them practically a part of 
the city. East Cleveland, extending for two miles along 
Euclid avenue eastward from the famous Lake View 
cemetery, itself six miles east of the Public Square, is part 
of the important fine residence belt to which reference is 
made above. Glenville, Collin wood and Nottingham are 
to the northward of East Cleveland, the first containing 
some fine outing clubs and summer residences, and the 
second the Lake Shore railroad shops. Lakewood is a 
beautiful village of pleasant, semi-rural homes stretching 
over the three miles along Detroit street between the 
western limits of the city and Rocky River gorge. 

STREET ARRANGEMENT. 

When Cleveland was founded in 1796 it was planned 
as a village a mile wide around the Public Square, and to 
this village direct roads converged from all land direc¬ 
tions. These old time country roads became the main 
city avenues. Thus all sections of the city may be reached 
by direct routes from the business center. 

STREET CARS. 

The street car service of Cleveland is comprised in 
two systems, known popularly as the Big and Little Con¬ 
solidated companies, or properly as the Cleveland Elec¬ 
tric Railway and the Cleveland City Railway companies. 


— 20 — 


From a line owned by one company transfers are given 
only to other lines of the same company, but the tickets 
of either are accepted by the other, and are sold at the 
rate of eleven for fifty cents. Cars of all lines come to the 
Public Square, with the exception of those of the Scran¬ 
ton line, which stop at Superior street, a short block west 
of the Square, and of the Willson avenue or cross town 
line, two miles out on the East Side, operated jointly by 
the two companies, and transferring from or to any line, 
of either company, which it crosses. The cross lines are 
St. Clair, Superior, Payne, Wade Park, Euclid, Cedar, 
Central, Seovill, Woodland and Broadway. 

The Big Consolidated lines (all indicated by light 
yellow cars) are Wade Park Avenue, Euclid, Cedar, Cen¬ 
tral, Seovill and Pearl, Seovill and Clark, Broadway, Jen¬ 
nings and Pearl, Jennings and Clark, Scranton, Fairfield 
and Abbey, the latter being a short line to effect transfers 
between the West and South Sides. 

The Little Consolidated lines are Detroit and St. 
Clair (lemon yellow), Superior and West Madison (wine 
colored), Payne (orange), and Woodland and Lorain 
(light green). 

The routes of the several lines and some objects of 
interest passed are as follows : 

St. Clair Street .—Destination Glenville, numerous 
iron and steel works and the Cleveland Driving Park 
Company grounds, Gordon Park; cars run east through 
Public Square.

Euclid Beach cars turn to the left from Euclid avenue at 
the new barns, with popular resorts on the lake front as 
a destination. Collinwood cars branch to the right from 
the last mentioned route for the village of that name. All 
of these lines give a long ride through Cleveland’s finest 
residence section. 

More important churches are passed on this route 
than on any other. 

About a half hour is consumed on the Euclid avenue 
line in reaching the boulevard and Wade Park. The

PUBLIC WORKS. 

The public works in Cleveland of most interest to a 
visitor are the harbor, the water supply service and the 
viaducts. The harbor improvements consist of the gov- 


— 29 — 


ernment breakwater, the government piers and the city 
ship channel, or widening of the lower part of the Cuya¬ 
hoga river. The breakwater, which bounds the sheltered 
anchorage, may be given a general inspection from any 
down town lake front point of view, and the piers are 
but a short walk westward from the Union depot. 

The Cleveland water works system, requiring 532£ 
miles of pipe, presents a study in fine engineering. The 
system has two lake tunnels which extend from the 
pumping station at the corner of Division and Taylor 
streets, under the water one and a quarter miles from the 
shore to the water crib in Lake Erie, westerly from the 
river’s mouth. This pumping station, which has a capa¬ 
city of 100,000,000 gallons a day, may be visited by taking 
the Detroit street cars to Taylor street. A new tunnel 
now under construction goes to an intake crib five miles 
out in the lake, from the new pumping station at the foot 
of Coe street, East Side: The high service pumping 
station on Woodland Hills avenue, between the Cedar 
and the Scovill car lines, has a tall water column tower 
which affords a wide view of the East Side. This station 
pumps from a low service reservoir on Fairmount street 
to a high service reservoir on Kinsman street. 

The great viaducts of Cleveland are the Superior 
street and the Central. The first is 3,211 feet long and 68 
feet high at the pivot turning span over the Cuyahoga 
river. The total length of the Central viaduct, including 
its approaches, is 5,229 feet. It is 101 feet above the 
water, and has a pivot turning span 239 feet long. It is 
divided into two sections, known as Cuyahoga Valley and 
Walworth Run sections, one with a floor 2,838 feet long, 
the other, 1,092 feet. Below it three railroads cross one 
another at different altitudes and within a radius of 600 
feet, making a spectacle not encountered elsewhere in 
the world. The Superior viaduct is but three streets west 
of the Public Square; the Central viaduct also within easy 
walking distance. Other viaducts in Cleveland are: 


— 30 — 


Kingsbury Run, Humboldt street, Broadway line; Will- 
son Avenue, over Kingsbury Run; Pearl Street, over 
Walworth Run; Brooklyn Bridge, over Big Creek, Pearl 
street line; Willett Street, south of Lorain street. 

CLEVELAND FIRE DEPARTMENT. 

The 'equipment of a big city fire department station 
may be seen at two down town houses, that on St. Clair 
street, between Seneca and Bank streets, and that on 
Champlain street, between Ontario and Seneca. The 
former contains a water tower for throwing streams upon 
the roofs of tall buildings. Two fire boats may be seen, 
one at the foot of Superior street, and the other at the 
foot of Seneca street. These boats may assist in fighting 
fires around the Public Square by means of an under¬ 
ground main which runs from the river up Superior and 
Seneca street hills. 

GREAT INDUSTRIES. 

Visitors to Cleveland will find especial interest in an 
examination of the city’s iron, steel, coal, shipping and 
manufacturing industries. A monument to the fact that 
Cleveland is the meeting point for the Lake Superior iron 
ore and the coal from the great basin near whose apex 
the city is located, is to be found in the wonderful and ex¬ 
tensive heaps of ore at the lake front docks and the re¬ 
markable coal loading devices between the Union depot 
and the river’s mouth. By the latter whole cars are lifted 
aloft and their contents dumped into ships, and equally 
remarkable ore carrying devices, which unload great ves¬ 
sels in an almost incredibly short time, are to be inspected 
by descending the hill from any of the near Detroit street 
intersections. While down in this region the visitor may 
see the ship yards and works of the American Ship Build¬ 
ing Co. Some idea of the shipping which comes to Cleve¬ 
land may be had by standing on the Superior street 
viaduct. 


— 31 — 


Of the blast furnaces in Cleveland, the nearest to the 
Public Square may be reached by the Scranton avenue 
line over Seneca street, just across the river at Carter 
street, on the flats. 

A trip of the iron and steel region on the east side 
lake shore may be made by commencing about the corner 
of Sterling avenue and Lake street, and moving eastward 
to Willson avenue, or beyond. The visitor may see on 
this route, among the numerous establishments, those of 
the Lake Shore Foundry, which casts immense aque¬ 
ducts; the Otis Steel Company, famous for its big steel 
castings-; the Cleveland Steel Company, with up-to-date 
furnaces; the H-P works of the wire consolidation; the 
Cleveland City Forge and Iron Company, which does 
heavy work for battleships; the Kilby Manufacturing 
Company, which makes sugar manufacturing outfits; the 
Cleveland Twist Drill Company; the Brown Hoisting and 
Conveying Machinery Company, which has in its yard 
some of its own conveying structures; the American and 
the Consolidated mills of the wire corporation; the King 
Bridge Company, and an important salt works. 

Some of the important works along the line of the 
Cleveland and Pittsburg railroad tracks, across town, are 
those of the Vapor stove consolidation; the Cleveland 
Screw Company; the Warner & Swasey Company, 
makers of the greatest telescopes of the world, and the 
Standard Tool Company. The Newburg group of works, 
reached by the Broadway and the Union street lines, are 
the Cleveland Rolling Mills, the Crescent Sheet Mills, 
both of the Steel Corporation; the Union Rolling Mills, 
and the Emma blast furnace. 

The largest carbon manufactory in the world is to 
be inspected by a trip to the end of the West Madison 
avenue street car line, and one of the largest chewing 
gum factories is on the Detroit street line. The concerns 
here mentioned are but a suggestion of what there is to 


— 32 — 


see in a city with 3,000 different kinds of manufactories, in 
which are to be included works making automobiles, 
bicycles, implements, street cars, shoes, clothing and 
about everything on the list of requirements for civilized 
society. 

HOSPITALS. 

For a look at an immense modern hospital, at a con¬ 
venient distance from the Public Square, the visitor will 
be repaid by visiting Lakeside Hospital, on Lake street, 
one of the largest, newest and most up-to-date in the 
country. It is built on the cottage plan. There are many 
other good hospitals in Cleveland, as follows:

reach the station* we must cross the railroad bridge at 
mouth of river; if bridge is open, a small ferry is at hand. 

Exhibition drills will be given for the benefit of the 
encampment visitors. The Cleveland station is one of 
the best on the lakes, and equal to that at Buffalo, whose 
Pan-American drills are attracting so much attention. 

EDUCATIONAL.

SPECIAL PARK FEATURES. 

The largest floral flag in the world is that in Fair- 
view Park, at the corner of Franklin avenue and Ken¬ 
tucky streets, reached by West Madison avenue cars, or 
Detroit street cars, disembarking at Kentucky street, and 
walking two squares southward. This flag is 72 feet long 
and represents in flowers not only the design but the 
proper colors of the national emblem; 3,000 flowers were 
used in its construction. 

An electric fountain display in Wade Park lake, 
visible from Euclid avenue at the boulevard crossing, has 
been prepared for the pleasure of encampment visitors. 

This is so arranged as to have the spray fall outside 
of a large number of red, white and blue electric lights 
around the figures in the fountain. 

CANNON ON THE PUBLIC SQUARE. 

The three cannon on the Public Square have each 
an interesting history associated with three wars. 

The large ancient-appearing war ordnance on the 
southwest corner of the northeast section of the square 
was captured by Commodore Perry from the British in 
the famous victory on Lake Erie, off Put-in-Bay, Sept. 
10th, 1813. 

The large, modern gun, between the Soldiers’ Monu¬ 
ment and Superior street, was captured from Spain in 
the famous naval battle at Santiago, Cuba, by the Am¬ 
erican naval squadron under Admirals Sampson and 
Schley, on July 3, 1898. The gun was taken from the 
Spanish battleship, Vizcaya. 

The smaller ordnance is a trophy of the success of 
the loyal arms in the war for the Union, and was among 
the first, if not the first, of captured artillery in that great 
struggle. The capture of Camp Garnett at Rich Moun¬ 
tain, West Va., and the turning of the left flank of the 
rebels, on July 11th, 1861, rendered Laurel Hill untenable 


— 39 — 




by them, and on the twelfth it was found that they had 
retired from the front of the Union forces. Ihe rebel 
force was composed of 4,000 men and two pieces of ar¬ 
tillery, which was immediately pursued by the Union 
force, under command of Gen. T. A. Morris, as follows:! 
Steadman’s 14th Ohio, one section of the Cleveland Light 
Artillery under Gen. James Barnett, Dumont’s 7th In¬ 
diana, and Milroy’s 9th Indiana. On July 13th, at Car- I 
rick’s Ford, Va., after a chase of two days in the rain and; 
fording Cheat river five times, the enemy made a desper¬ 
ate stand; but after a brisk engagement they fled in great :j 
confusion, Dumont pursuing them to the next ford, wher^ f 
a skirmish was had and the Confederate General Garnett 
was killed while trying to rally his rear guard. The ar¬ 
tillery fire of the enemy was silenced with a few rounds,] 
and the gun which was giving its attention to the Union 
artillery was taken possession of by the Cleveland Light 
Artillery. The artillery man who was serving the rebel; 
piece was killed by a cannister shot while putting down a 
charge which was as far down as the trunnions when he 
was struck, his body lying over the axle of the gun. 

Soon after this successful engagement, the com¬ 
manding officer of the artillery was ordered to report to 
Gen. McClellan, who took occasion to compliment the j 
command on its meritorious service. t he Cleveland 
Light Artillery (whose time expired at this time) was 'or- I 
dered back to Ohio to be mustered out, and, as a recogni- j 
tion of their service, the commanding officer allowed 
them to take to Ohio the captured gun, and the returning 
heroes, with the captured trophy, were received with a 
great demonstration of welcome by the people, on the ' 
Public Square. 

When captured it was a nicely rifled gun, and on trial 
at Bealington with some fine ammunition, which was in 
the limber chest when captured, was found to be a very 
close-shooting piece. It was used for celebrating Union 


40 — 




victories in the later years of the war, for firing salutes 
on all occasions for many years until it became neces¬ 
sary to bore it out, and it is now a smooth bore. 

Eventually the gun was formally turned over to the 
city by Gen. Barnett, and it stands on the Public Square 
as a relic of Cleveland’s part in the great Civil War.

PUBLIC ENTERTAINMENT. 


The arrangements made by the Committee on Pub¬ 
lic Entertainment include provision for grand fireworks, 
every evening, for lake excursions, for an automobile 
parade, for an athletic meet, for balloon novelties during 
the progress of the parades, etc. The Public Park Con¬ 
cert Committee of Cleveland has also a feature to add. 

FIREWORKS. 

The committee selected Pain’s Fireworks as the 
display to be given in connection with the present en¬ 
campment, and made a contract which provides for a 
$1,500 expenditure in combustibles every night for two 
weeks (excepting Sundays) beginning Monday, Septem¬ 
ber 9. “The Fall of Pekin” will be the representation. 
The exhibition will be given in an enclosure on the 
grounds at the corner of Cedar and East Madison 
avenues, reached directly by the Cedar cars, or by the 
Euclid or Scovill cars passing a square or two distant. 
For admission to the enclosure a fee is charged. Two 
important exhibitions visible from nearly all parts of the 
city, however, will be given in the course of the week. 
One will be “Pain’s Human Bomb,” presented on two 
afternoons. The bomb, which is double, will be attached 
to a balloon, from which it will be detached by the opera¬ 
tion of a fuse at an elevation of about a mile, the fuse 
causing the outer bomb to explode, uncovering the inner 
one, protecting an aeronaut and his parachute, which 
later unfolding in the swift descent, carries him, it is 
hoped safely, to the ground. The other feature will be 


— 44 — 



an attraction for Wednesday or Thursday night, and will 
be a magnificent spectacle. “Old Glory/’ represented in 
color fire, will be suspended in the air at an elevation of 
a mile or so. The banner will be 250 feet long and 90 feet 
wide. The flames, ignited by a bursting bomb, will burn

loons carrying up large attachments of American flags, 
parachutes, portraits, etc., also large whales, air ships, 
summer girls, Goddess of Liberty, and a number of day¬

ACCOMMODATIONS. 

Cards giving the addresses of private residences in 
which encampment visitors may rent rooms will be dis¬ 
tributed to applicants from the information headquarters, 
No. 342 Superior street, City Hall building, a little east of 
the Public Square, north side of the street. These cards, 
in addition to the name and address, will give the capacity 
of the place, the price asked of one person for room rent, 
the price asked for meals, if given, and the car line by 
which the residence is most easily reached. These cards 
must be handed out expeditiously, and without discus¬ 
sion, on account of the great number to be served. If a 
location is found unsatisfactory for any reason, or if 
found to be already occupied, another card will be handed 
the applicant, and the process continued until he is satis¬ 
fied, upon the return of the card first handed. Visitors 


— 53 — 





are requested, also, to see to the return of cards should 
arrangements be made on the way for a location else¬ 
where, or if for any reason cards are not used. Visitors 
are reminded that propriety will be observed in the offer 
of advance payment for accommodations, in a case like 
the present where so many strangers are in the city. 

In addition to the main headquarters at 342 Superior 
street, applying to locations all over the city, sub-assign¬ 
ment stations, for the distribution of cards directing to 
places in the immediate neighborhood, are established on 
Superior street in the Wilshire building, on the 
West Side in the rear of the northeast corner of Pearl 
and Lorain streets, and at the different free quarter loca¬ 
tions, in the latter cases for the families of the members 
of posts quartered in the public schools and halls. 

Printed lists of Cleveland boarding houses, with in¬ 
formation, may also be obtained at No. 342 Superior 
street.
